More Fun with Block Swapping!

So far these are the blocks I've received from my Sew Pieceful swap on Flickr. I asked for turquoise, olive, and hot pink/magenta on a white background. I think they came out great.

They're hard colors to have people match, not like orange or red, so I was prepared with an open mind. Individually, there are off colors, but when you put them all together, it works! I might add some white sashing in the end to make them look more cohesive.

I don't know if I have it in me to make a whole quilt of these blocks, but I can certainly do four blocks to send to my group. It looks pretty precise, and I tend to get tired quickly of being precise. I haven't actually read through the tutorial, just the tips and blurbs on Molli Sparkles' blog, but I was too busy giggling to take in any actual information. I think that's something better left to a quiet day down in the basement sewing dungeon.

Molli Sparkles is the best! This is the thing going on right now that makes me the saddest that I can't join in on. Too much other stuff happening! I agree those herringbone blocks would suit your swap blocks perfectly.
